Gb government ready to grant no-confidence vote on Monday

(ANSA) – LONDON, JUL 13 – The outgoing British government of Boris Johnson is ready to present a vote of confidence in itself in the House of Commons next Monday, after having irritably rejected a no-confidence motion requested for today by the Labor opposition. A spokeswoman for Downing Street said this, indicating the will of the resigning premier to heal the institutional rift with Labor.

The self-motion would offer the courtroom the entirely theoretical possibility of disheartening the entire cabinet, according to the traditional practice of the British Parliament; but without individual references to the premier as foreseen in the text presented by Keir Starmer’s party. The spokesperson insisted that the appeal to a single member of the government in no-confidence motions is foreign to “custom” in Westminster parliament. Labor – who had intended with this demonstrative deed to embarrass the Tory majority, forcing it to renew confidence in a premier already forced to resign to avoid the potential scenario of early political elections in case of approval – nevertheless insisted on contest the legitimacy of the refusal of their own text. While he called “a mess” the idea of ​​self-motion of no confidence (probably unwelcome by the same Tory candidates in the race for the replacement of BoJo), not without reserving, however, to try to amend it on Monday in the courtroom to restore some recall. to the premier as an individual.
